At the start of the year, our French B class was informed that we would be completing all 3 areas of CAS within our French class, and creating corresponding posts. As such, I previously completed a song in French for Christmas time with my sister as creativity, and now I underwent a service project. There is a french eldery home which I decided to write to, and therefore I created a letter to send to two ladies there. This would help spread psoitive messages and enagage with those in elderly homes. I enjoyed this project a lot because I was able to use my french language skills to communicate with native speakers whilst also promoting a positive message. I began the process by drafting a letter and referncing other similar letters for inspriation, and I tried to apply a vairety of tenses and grammatical structures from class. I then handwrote 2 versions of the letter. Since Ms Fert was travelling to France, I was able to drop my 2 hand written letters off at school so that they could be delivered. The letter I wrote was as follows :

Le 19 mai 2021, à Colombo, Sri lanka

Chere Madame, 

Je m’appelle Sheruni, et j’ai dix-sept ans. J’habite au Sri Lanka mais je suis née en Australie et j’ai commencé le français à l’école primaire et je continue depuis tout ce temps. En cette période de confinement, j’espère que vous allez bien et que vous prenez bien soin de vous pour rester en bonne forme. 

Je suis assez occupée par mon travail scolaire, et aussi je reste beaucoup à la maison et je passe plus de temps avec ma famille. Aussi, j’adore chanter et j’adore la musique, alors je joue du piano. En fait, je connais quelques musiciens français! Par exemple, je connais Jean-Jacques Goldman comme nous avons parlé des Restos du Coeur en classe. Personnellement, j’adore Céline Dion… sa voix est très belle!! 

Il est à souhaiter que cette période difficile s’améliore, alors bon courage! Je vous envoie beaucoup d’amour et de bonnes énergies pour traverser cette période difficile car “l’aube la plus brillante vient après la nuit la plus sombre”.

Amites,

Sheruni  

I hope to recieve a response and I am happy to have participuated in this project!

 

LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process- It was a challenge and a new area for me to write directly to someone whom I don’t know, so it was a challenge to make the letter accessible and effective, not to mention grammatically accurate!
